This event is fully booked but you can book onto the waiting list.
About the event
This online peer review session is open to College members and will cover your GOC peer review requirement. It is worth three interactive CPD points.
At our online session, you will join a large group for an introduction and then participate in a small, virtual group to review three cases.
The introduction session will be conducted by a lead facilitator and each small group will be led by an experienced facilitator. The cases are:
Swollen optic discs
Visual field anomaly found in a young driver
A retest with suspicious reduction in vision
The content of this session is a repeat of those on 21 January, 3 February, 26 March and 22 April.
If you are on a waiting list, please ensure you remove yourself from it if you attend the event on another date.
